Looking back over this thread that has been up since 2004 it has made me think about some of the new ARFs that showed up at the flying field this year and last and how it seems that the quality of ARFs are getting quite better with every passing year. There is some really nice stuff out there on the market today and I am racking my brain trying to think if there was any ARFs that came to the field this year that anyone seemed unhappy with, ? Right now I just can't think of any off the top of my head. I remember not to many years ago folks would bring something out on a regular basis that was poorly built or flew terrible, but it really does seem like the quality has really gotten better among most manufacturers. I would like to think that threads like this one on RCU with input from from folks who have purchased many various type planes from various manufacturers over the years....has in some small way encouraged manufacturers to try and raise the bar for quality every year until eventually we can find very few planes that can be added to the AVOID AT ALL COST thread. Thanks to all those who posted to this thread over the years and more importanly managed to keep it a good civil discussion. [8D]
